Holy effing hell. You just killed my mind a bit. I had to read it twice, just to let it sink in. Please for the love of god continue this. it's absolutely brilliant; I love that Martha's cracked and what you show us of her inner workings sounds so much like how i imagined... and the Master... oh man. Please, please continue.

Wow-thank you! I'm especially glad that Martha's inner topology worked; that was a bitch to find words for. :)

It was conceived as a one-shot, though, to be honest. But maybe something'll bite me.

Simply stunning. Into my memories it goes, so that I may be stunned by it again and again.

And I gotta say, I'd be absolutely ecstatic to read about what happens next. If you should, you know, decide to continue. Just thought I'd mention that. ;)

Thank you. That's incredibly flattering. Not that I'm complaining. :)

Like I told seularen, I wrote it as a one-shot, but I admit there's something attractive in the idea of doing an episode or two of their antics, maybe something where I can give the melodrama a break and focus on the utter absurdity a bit more…

wtf just about sums it up....wtf? can't wait to read more! ( I know there's more because um...because I'm wishing fervently that it's so? please let there be more!)

elliptic_eye April 12 2008, 15:57:33 UTC

It's, er, probably a one-shot. *ducks* Very glad you enjoyed, though! "WTF" was about the reaction I was hoping for. :D

Omgs. You had me at the first line:

The Master had always spoken about the pulse only he could hear, the approaching drums of war. Martha felt jealous; her mentalness didn't come with a soundtrack.

WIN!

Thank you!

Oh, that's just fabulous and creepy and intriguing.

elliptic_eye April 12 2008, 15:58:59 UTC

All my best intentions for absurdist humor seem to come out creepy. *facepalm* Still, if it works, who cares about the flavor.

netgirl_y2k April 12 2008, 17:04:38 UTC

Hey, all of my best intentions for creepy seem to come across as absurdist humour.

But as you said, go with what works.
